Nespelem school levy up for vote

Voters in the Nespelem School District 14 are being asked to approve a new tax levy to replace one that will expire this year, for taxes to be collected from 2025 to 2028.

The ballot question says the amount sought by the district is $40,000 for each of those years. The tax rate is estimated at $2.15 per thousand dollars of assessed valuation on real property, or $215 for a $100,000 property.

Proposition 1 was approved last year by the Nespelem School Board of Directors.

The levy would pay for educational programs and operational expenses not funded by the state.

The school levy is one of several on ballots in Okanogan County for the election that ends Feb. 13.
